On Tuesday, some students protested by wearing white and purple, with the female sign emblazoned in duct tape, according toFirst Coast News.

'There’s a problem with this dress code that’s been outdated, stigmatizes the female body, and you need to do something about it and fix it,' said senior Anthony Paul, directing his quote to school officials.

However, soon after the student body kicked up a fuss, the posters were removed.

'They didn’t quite see the issue about it being demeaning to women,' senior Lily Willingham said. 'So once they did realize that that offended us and that we weren’t okay with that they were like 'oh wow we didn’t see it that way' and they apologized.'

At least one psychologist thought the message could be harmful to the female students' self esteem.

'It seems like the goodness of those girls would be equated with their physical appearance,' Sarah Dew-Reeves, a licensed clinical psychologist at Nautilus Behavioral Health, told the outlet.
